As far as I can tell (I'm not a Diablo veteran), Diablo (and Diablo 2) were mostly about character builds and loot. As as far as that is concerned, they are still one of the best ever, if you ask me. I've recently installed Diablo 2 and expansion again and I'm amazed at the quality of the design of things. The gameplay itself might not be for you, but it's strangely addictive and gratifying in its own ways.
